Easy Quiche Recipe

Baking the Basic Quiche

1. Step 1

   Take the pie crust out of the freezer or refrigerator and allow it to warm up to room temperature. If you're using an unroll-and-fill crust, place it into the pie dish before thawing.

2. Step 2

   Beat the eggs and add the rest of the ingredients.

3. Step 3

   Pour the mixture into the pie shell.

4. Step 4

   Bake at 325 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until it is firm to the touch.

Make it Your Own

1. Step 1

   Make a Mexican quiche by adding chilies, onions, tomatoes and steak or chicken flavored with fajita seasoning. Serve with a variety of salsas and sangria.

2. Step 2

   Add olives, chopped artichoke hearts, spinach and feta cheese to make a Greek quiche.

3. Step 3

   Pack your quiche with bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli or green onions to get your recommended serving of vegetables.

4. Step 4

   Substitute a 12-ounce container of cottage cheese for milk or cream to pack in extra protein. It gives the quiche a light, creamy texture, too. You'll need to increase the heat to 425 degrees when using cottage cheese.

5. Step 5

   Decorate the top of your quiche with thin slices of tomato or make a pinwheel out of asparagus spears. Add bacon bits if you like.
